A new "Boss of Bounce Music and Twerkin'" has been named on Season 2 of "Big Freedia Queen of Bounce" on Fuse TV with the show's latest addition, producer/director/choreographer Wilberto, who works under his banner, the Bert Company.

Big Freedia (who is responsible for introducing Bounce music and Twerkin' to the world) initially met with Berto to direct his next music video. Based on Berto's extremely diverse and expansive background, he was asked to help with Big Freedia's entire project, including the creation of a stage show for a new tour and to help in other creative elements of Freedia's career.

Once they realized his charisma, presence and chemistry, the producers of the TV show asked him if he would go on camera to help in sharing Freedia's journey preparing for a new stage show, music video and to help with Freedia getting to the next level in his career.

Wilberto, who also hails from New Orleans, began his career in Hollywood as a model when renowned photographer Herb Ritts test shot him at the age of 17 which led to numerous editorials/commercials as well as gigs with Madonna, Tina Turner, and Chippendales. Wilberto's illustrious dancing career began with such legendary artists as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Paula Abdul, Jay-Z, Puff Daddy, Mary J. Blige, and Debbie Allen. One of his first jobs was to be creative director for an Interview Magazine anniversary party in New York for Ingrid Sischy.

He then went on to become the first acknowledged artistic/creative director for the hip hop/urban music genre which began with producing and creative directing an award show performance for Jive Records' recording artist Mystikal's #1 hit "Shake It Fast".

His client list is very long with some of the highlights being Kanye West, Pink, Pharrell, Calle 13, Victoria Secret's Fashion Show, Lil' Kim, Sting, T.I., Sean Combs (P. Diddy), Andre 3000, Ben Stiller, Sean Paul, Met Fashion Gala, and many more.

The final episode of Season 2 of "Big Freedia Queen of Bounce," featuring "'Berto," airs Wednesday, July 30 at 8pm Pacific, 10pm central. The ratings have grown exponentially since he joined the cast of the reality series.
